Hello all, and thank you in advance.
I have an Acer Aspire M5-583p running windows 8, which I bought a couple months ago, and was working great until a couple weeks ago. Using Chrome and IE11 when I enter a URL I just get "DNS lookup failed." If I enter 74.125.225.179 Google comes up, and as long as I click on links for another google page, it's fine, but the DNS lookup fails again as soon as I click on a link for another site.
the following is what came up when I ran ipconfig/all in the command prompt
